YouTube Star Sponsors The Fastest Rising Football Club in England 

and I love it

Holy shit I didn't even know he played FIFA and was famous for it. All I knew was that he was the guy from Crash course

@@darien7601 bro me too 😂😂

so true it puts everything in a perspective that makes it seems more real

Leicester is better

+Shemium224 this is in no way a neutral point of view. Its still "possibly the strangest, but also a most heartwarming story of a football team."

+MeisterHaar I just mean a different point of view.

Shemium224 yes, i konw. just be carefull with words like neutral. ;) DFTBA

That would be so cool

+jjthemarvellover AFC Bournemouth did it. We were in the old division 3 not long ago.

+Robert Bones Along with Fulham, Wigan, and a few more.

+jjthemarvellover yeah but then it'd have to beat the Leicester city miracle

not necessarily considering they've come up from the 9th division

HAHAHAHAHA! And English ones too.

+Terry Guan Yes he brainwashes feeble minded college kids

+Terry Guan Careful here. John as a tendency to rewrite history to fit a narative.

Doesn't He repeat many times don't watch crash course for grades? :P

+Jean-Philippe Leclerc (Xaxi) +dnldmor08 He's not the one who writes the history episodes.

Me too

now I feel dumb

No he just casts them

I also love how they mention Hank like he's a footnote and is famous only as John green's brother😂

well who the eff is hang

Zalied yes nerdifghters DFTBA

+Michael Hart My fiancee. It probably didn't help that I made her watch a shit ton of vlogbrothers stuff before realising she wasn't into it.

rareroe305 you know you have to break it off.

Actually, we're getting married on Saturday. But that's OK, I don't show her John Green stuff, and she doesn't show me Friends bloopers.

rareroe305 ........friends bloopers are great. But I was just having a laugh anyway. Wish you the very best for Saturday then.

Oh I figured. It came through even with just text. I was just pointing out something I don't like, but she does, as does everyone else, it seems. Thanks! Have a good weekend yourself!

Aaron Hinton Germany is a prime example of football/soccer run by the fans, a notable exception would be RB Lepzig however

kaeden le RB Leipzig ? The team that got 7 promotions in 8 seasons ? That really successful team?

Aaron Hinton shit. I thought a muddled eastern oil Barron ploughing millions into a club and not really receiving much roi in comparison to other investments he could do as love of the sport... I may be wrong .. a RU-vid star trying to plough what he has to get a bigger return on his investment may be for the love of sport 🤣🤔

By the community they are there to represent. As it used to be and should be still. I hope in the future more teams return to this method.

Mancity and psg summed up

Lol

Playoffs start Saturday and Wimbledon made it

+Zachary Brewer-Kirby Well he was in the earlier ones... His team was the "swoodilypoopers" for a season or two.

mexico cant even beat the us lol

Shane G what? they beat them 2 times in a row already

+pokechatter His first two books came out before vlogbrothers started and they were both reasonably successful.

eustacia03 But they weren't best sellers until after the Internet fame.

+pokechatter Yeah he did, they started Brotherhood 2.0 in 2007 I think.

Ever so slightly.

pokechatter yeah... maybe this little thing called "vidcon" would be a nice thing to mention😂

I always thought it was an office

Jppudly McGowan I always thought it was some super small room with a really old leather chair and big clunky tv.

+Drums & Bass Absolutely. This title was made by the Vice people. Not John or AFC Wimbledon

+Drums & Bass Well, the title says he "helped save" them.

+Drums & Bass checked his youtube he gets like 5k views so they are getting like 20 bucks a month from john green lol

+Drums & Bass Kinda irrelevant, because nobody said he alone saved them. It does say "helped save"...which doesn't mean solely. He did help...so there really should be no debate about it. Also, John is a fan...so kinda redundant to say he didn't.

LucidDream I want to be clear i'm not dissing john or anything. You wont find anyone connected to the club that has a bad word to say about him or what he has bought for the club. Its the issue with Vice saying he helped save the club. The saving of the club was all done in the noughties by the fans and the local community. I remember very well when old wimbledon moved to Milton Keynes. It was the fans who went in their thousands to watch their team play in local parks, pretty much. And the local businesses that went out of their way to sponsor them or give discounts to AFC Wimbledon members, or have the staff uniform as the AFC wimbledon shirt like Flame barbecue. Sports interactive who make football manager who are based in wimbledon, sponsored them from the start. By the time John had come to learn about the story of the Dons, they were already a stable club, who would usually play to much more fans than any other team in their division at the time, with a stable busniess plan. I'm not trying to say john hasnt done anything for the club. he's done way way more than me for instance and trust me everyone absolutely loves him and its hoped his connections will help the club kick on to the next level. He is helping the club immensely and no one will ever not say that. What i'm saying is that the club was saved in the first 5 years of its inception by the community when it was at the point it couldnt go further down. From then on its actually been a pretty successful club achieving successive promotions, getting a lot of coverage and having the fanbase consistently grow year on year.

+Ryan Douglas I think that might be a bit too restrictive. How about either players named John Green, or gingers.

No we don't

+sigridsimmen I mean, we already have John Green, Bald John Green, and Other John Green, but I think we could do with a few more.

@@bucsfan2565 we we do actually

it would be a green world if we did.

pretty much exactly what I imagined.

You're not the only one. :)

+Erica Bourland basically, but I kinda pictured it with him sitting in the floor in front of the tv cross legged like he was 9 playing his best friend the NES, in the dark.

+Charlotte Litherland (CraftnMomma) haha, I like how that isn't "playing his best friend on the NES," but rather "playing his best friend the NES."

In a basement, with a suede "bean bag," but pretty much, yeah.

suspendedsky smash bros needs to be on the switch

Hamilton Brown i shed a tear

Hamilton Brown in the exact moment he said it i saw your comment and was shocked too :D

Haha definitely a nice touch

He's a Liverpool fan.

2:10 "..they decided to start a soccer team". what are you on about ?

Luke Towler smash bros deffo needs to be on the switch

Commandelicious John Green can't lose, idk why but he's growing immune to loss

+Seb Gardner I was going to disagree but then recalled that he is a theist and realized that you may actually be correct..... Wow.....

+Seb Gardner We have to talk him into running in 2020. I am not kidding.

He made a video on why he would never run for congress.

That would torture John.

And WIN!!!

+Amy Perry Best part for me is how that guy is so right, and yet I love watching John play anyway

+AFC Wimbledon TV AKINFENWA

👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

I think I just found my favorite english football (soccer) team

+AFC Wimbledon TV You guys are simply amazing! Greetings from a Liverpool fan who has followed your great journey for years! Keep it up and we'll see you in the PL soon!

imma go cry in a corner now

@@azeemquraishi5669 you scared the crap out of me. I thought he died or something.

@jeff kennedy so you replied after four years to that comment, that’s straight up dedication bro, hope you are doing well

+Baraka K. It's no longer RU-vid - it's MeTube!

Baraka K. I think it's America-centric enough already.

I believe it's just cause of all the drama and how instead of collaborating, they decide to judge others where in all reality no one cares. RU-vid is a job for them right? so treat it as one and be professional instead of being immature.

If you make something great off of something bad, then who's to say that the bad was really just that?

So meta...

What?

+Landon Michael (Elnots) huh?

+Landon Michael (Elnots) I honestly was freaking out about losing my hearings and aging..

The phone's on full volume and I still can't hear shit

greatest moment in football history!

+Steven James I'm sure John told Wimbledons story in much more detail than what we show here. I mean he's gonna make a movie about the Dons.

I don't think you ever did. I'd love to hear it, go on then. :)

Steven James seb is a legend I train with him every mon and wed

Watford FC SHIT ON LUTON #COYH *cough*

+Malice1111 True dat!

+brightonwomble you cant start a team without money or in this case sponsorship

+Kyle Preston But the original start up money was provided by the fans. Not knocking SI who were there at the very beginning but they did not start the club

+wiet111 she was in that hotdog competition they had

Napoleonicus Which hotdog competition?

+wiet111 let me just warn you before o tell you - that video isn't pretty xD It's their April the fourth office hotdog eating competition.

+wiet111 I believe she hosted a mental floss video.

+wiet111 Now my suspension of disbelief has been shattered! I will now only see John sitting in his recliner with Meredith right across from him in that office while he played a video game. Beforehand, I imagined him in the blue Laz-E-Boy with Meredith to the side behind him while he played a video game. UGH. Narrative RUINED. ;)

He was though, wasn't he? He wrote lots of books and had a few movies based on those books?

Chad Bryans well he does have those but they all came years after RU-vid

Oh! I didn't know that. I just knew him from the books and movies. Neat!

Chad Bryans yea, if you want to watch him cover his face in sharpies or run into a wall to test if he is an octopus there is thousands of hours of that online

Hahaha thanks. I'll check it out.

+Brainiac V I totally agree! Plus it sounded like they just did the Hank Games stuff to make ad money when they had the hugely popular vlogbrothers channel and were deliberately not having ads. I also hate how he made it sound like people watch just for the bald john green other john green etc when John talks over his games telling you about his life and things, THATS what we started watching for, not for random fifa, but now so many of us are into this.

It's always going to be difficult for an outsider looking into a niche group to understand all the intricate facets of the group.

+Ostrich160 While +miloent may have worded that statement poorly I think a reason many view the underdog story (while being truly universal) as American is because it is so very ingrained in our culture. When you ask an American about the values that are true across the country many would tell you that being able to make something out of nothing with hard work and determination, as the thing that resonates across the country. Whether or not that is actually true is another story but the idea of it is very deep-seated.

+Tyler Grandis +Ostrich160 The underdog story is pretty international and universal as you said, but some countries do resonate with it more than others, and both the UK and US are two of those. The American idea of an underdog, similar to what you said, is the idea of the American dream. Social mobility. People rising from the bottom to the top with some hard graft and elbow grease. In British culture it's more to do with history, such as the Battle of Britain in WW2 standing alone against the Nazis as London burned, and fending off the massive Spanish Armada in 1588, Rorke's Drift and the Charge of the Light Brigade.

***** lol. fair enough. GO DONS.

+milowent Just too make sure that you know, the Dons are a different team from AFC Wimbledon.

Coyg

The first playoff game is Saturday at 2:30 pm EST

They are in League One

Promoted

+Dimento PLexitronum I totally agree.

And now!! 🎉

John Davenport go hawks lol

+nerdommeetsboy That's... excessively nitpicky a distinction when we're glossing over career highlights of one man in less than a minute. For the benefit of people who probably have no idea of RU-vid's inner workings. I'd say it's safe to let this one go, mate.

+KTGetc That is exactly the thing that made him a sensation in the RU-vid community which in turn has helped him reach a broad spectrum that would've been impossible to do so without. So he if you want to define what the guy does in one sentence, that's it.

KTGetc actually I was noticing the graphic with the RU-vid player; I'm not expecting the video to be in-depth

butterflyswim8 thanks dude

You didnt just rhyme green with green ffs.

+The Hammer No, he rhymed "mean" to "green" twice.

+Jon John Green, he's not wearing green. Hammer is right.

Jose Mourinho Yes, I understand rhyming schemes. I guess sarcasm doesn't transmit well over the internet.

Jon No, it doesn't.
